Basic Background Information

Family info (spouse, children):

I am a proud single bachelor with no children. I am 23 years old and would love to have children whenever I get married. Until then, I am dedicated to ensuring all of our children in our public school system receive a 21st century education that will earn them a quality job after graduation. While I may not have children, as a local born and raised business owner who attended our public schools, I realize our students will eventually join our local workforce, become customers to our local business community, and become taxpayers like the rest of us. It is vital they receive an education that will allow them to be all 3 of these things without difficulty. As someone who was in the children's shoes very recently and understands what it is like to be a young professional struggling to begin the first chapter of my professional career, it will be beneficial for our school board to have my very recent insight.

Born and raised in Indian River County. My family emigrated from Korea in 1977 and began the American dream by starting their own business, Young's Market.
